Abstract

Safety rules have been strictly put in order to control or reduce the risk of working with chemicals. Unluckily, in some chemical laboratories, the story is absolutely different as people do not consider the hazard of chemicals they store or deal with. In this paper, we introduce an accident happened in a research laboratories in an educational institution.The damage to people or amenities was significantly minimised in this accident. However, it was about to make a catastrophe if not controlled. We emphasise here the importance of conducting regular safety tests and checks by qualified personnel as well as maintaining laboratories to evade any loss to people or properties.

Keywords: Chemical spill, maintenance, chemicals storage.
